Jared Fogle's brass balls are rattling -- the child porn convict is actually suing the parents of one of his victims, blaming them for the teen's problems.

Fogle's suit targets the parents of a "Jane Doe" ... who earlier this year sued him and his ex-employee, Russell Taylor. In his lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Fogle says the girl's parents screwed her up when they got divorced.

He says they frequently fought and abused alcohol in front of "Jane Doe," which caused her to suffer major depression and engage in "destructive behaviors" -- including abuse of drugs and alcohol, self-mutilation and having suicidal thoughts.

You should recall, the victim says Fogle and Taylor shared nude videos and pics of her.

Fogle -- who's doing just over 15 and a half years in prison -- is trying to say the girl's parents should be partially or fully responsible for all the claims she's making against him.

Saint West is showing off his birthright -- those near-impossible to come by baby Yeezys.

Kim and Kanye's tot was cruising around the Big Apple Thursday afternoon ... looking like the most adorable billboard for his pop's kicks, which sold out instantly this week.

Retail price is $130 for a pair, but the 8-month-old probably got the friends and fam discount.

Good to be the Saint.

File this under billionaire bitchfest -- Mark Zuckerberg going off on Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, for the epic failure of a rocket launch.

Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded Thursday morning in Florida during testing. The blast obliterated a Facebook satellite that was on board, and meant to offer connectivity to much of Africa.

Zuck ain't happy and threw some low-key shade Musk's way shortly after the payload went boom.

Drake and Rihanna are becoming more and more of a legit couple with every passing day -- Rihanna just sealed the deal by getting a tattoo for Drake ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Rihanna got inked Wednesday night after Drake's concert in Miami with a little shark on her ankle.

Sources say the shark tat symbolizes Drake and RiRi's aquarium date earlier this month, where Aubrey took his new girl to see some fishies in Toronto. He bought her a stuffed shark doll that night, and now she's paying him back by showing some permanent love.

We're told the tat was done by celeb tattoo artist Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy and our source says Drake got some ink as well.

We hear Drake is super down with her shark tat ... obviously.

Joseph Baena is proving to be a chip off the old block -- at least when it comes to playing The Terminator.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son is the spitting image of his dad ... so no big surprise he's breaking into acting.

Joseph stars in a 2-minute short film directed by his friend, Ben Hess ... it's a shot-by-shot remake of the end of the famous bar scene in "T2: Judgment Day."

Ben tells TMZ ... the vid was for a competition for Film Riot. He says he met Joseph 4 years ago and they've been buds ever since. He hit him up about the project and he was up for it.

The scene was shot last Saturday night at a restaurant outside of Bakersfield ... they'll find out if they won in a few weeks.

Beyonce just scored a huge legal victory -- the judge in that "Lemonade" lawsuit sided with her and tossed the case ... TMZ has learned.

The judge said he considered filmmaker Matthew Fulks' argument that "Lemonade" ripped off his work, and decided to toss the case ... according to docs obtained by TMZ. It's unclear why the judge rejected Fulks' suit ... he says he'll dish details later.

TMZ broke the story ... Bey was sued by Fulks back in June alleging she jacked several parts of his 2014 movie, "Palinoia" -- using similar images from his short film for the "Lemonade" visual album.

Beyonce argued her work depicted a "proud black woman" ... a stark contrast to Fulks' film about a depressed white guy.

Make that ... TWO depressed white guys now.

You knew it was gonna happen ... comics ripping Peyton Manning so badly, producers had to cut some of the racier jokes out of the "Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe."

Well, good news ... David Spade is revealing some of HIS Manning zingers that were deemed too hot for the actual show (which airs on Labor Day) ... and they're pretty hilarious.

Old people can EAT -- just ask the 76-YEAR-OLD MAN who came shockingly close to catching Joey Chestnut at one of the BIGGEST rib competitions in the world!!

The woman who accused Chris Brown of pointing a gun at her allegedly wrote a text message shortly after the incident saying she was going to frame Chris with the gun allegation out of revenge ... but she denies sending any such message.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the text, sent to an acquaintance named Safari -- no relation to Nicki Minaj's ex. The text was purportedly sent Tuesday at 2:57 AM, shortly after Baylee Curran was kicked out of Chris' house. It reads:

"Hey safari don't you know this freak Chris brown is kicking me out of his house because I called his friend jewelry fake can you come get me my Uber is messing up if not I'm going to set him up and call the cops and say that he tried to shoot me and that will teach him a lesson I'm going to set his ass up. Lol come get me."

He responded, "Really that's f*** up you ain't going to do that your wrong if you do."

Gaten Matarazzo isn't shy about his missing teeth on "Stranger Things" ... and he isn't ashamed to admit he rocks dentures in real life.

We got the 13-year-old actor in NYC where he talked about playing Dustin, the show's incredible success and his front teeth. Gaten has cleidocranial dysplasia, which affects tooth and bone development.

He copped to the fact he's got fake chompers, but Gaten also told us about his lesser known talent ... singing our National Anthem.

He kinda does it all, but check out the clip -- there's a reason he won't be singing too much. For now.

Drake got in Rihanna's crotch and then puckered up onstage, essentially confirming what everyone's long suspected ... Drizzy and RiRi are a thing.

Rihanna joined Drake Wednesday night in Miami to perform their song "Work," when Drake buried his face in her crotch ... and eventually moved in for a goodbye kiss.

Check out the vid ... Rihanna doesn't curve him as hard as she did at the VMAs, where they've been inseparable ever since. She kisses back, even if it's just for a second.

They're in Bey and Jay territory ... #AubRih

Rapper Kevin Gates invoked a biblical myth for Louisiana residents suffering from actual tragedy.

We caught up with Kevin Wednesday leaving The Nice Guy when our photog asks what he thought of President Obama's handling of the devastating flood there. Check out the vid ... the question strangely gets a chuckle out of Kevin ... who BTW is from Baton Rouge.

But that's not the worst part.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Tommie Lee just proved mug shots CAN be flattering ... but it took a lot of work to get there.

The reality star turned herself into an Atlanta jail Wednesday after a warrant had been issued for her arrest stemming from a feud with co-star Joseline Hernandez. Lee documented her morning leading up to the surrender ... which really just involved putting on a ton of makeup, and slipping into a black dress.

Lee's still behind bars, and something tells us an orange jumpsuit ain't gonna be her favorite look.

Chris Brown is a troubled man in search of supportive friends ... according to his new song.

Chris dropped the track “What Would You Do?” Wednesday night, hours after dropping $250k on bail.

Daisy Lea and Amy Lee Summers flaunted what their mama gave 'em and all we gotta say is -- Brava, mama!!

The Playboy Playmates bared it all Wednesday in Malibu, and got very cozy while they did it.

Who woulda thunk it ... Shaquille O'Neal found a lost wallet on the ground that belonged to none other than ... David Beckham!!
